Surgeon General's Warning

New stuff coming soon..... LOTS of it. Until then, I came across this Hellblazer cover the other day and realized that it's one of my favorites. While I'm trying to move away from the 'fo-painterly' look in my more recent color pieces, I think that this piece succeeds in more ways than it fails. The only thing I think it's missing is more of a graphic quality, but that's probably just because my tastes are going more in that direction now. I've fallen back in love with holding lines, and like the idea of embracing more of the fact that these things are drawings, despite being in color. Still, I love John Constantine and miss the smug bastard sometimes....

Long time comin'...

Since the book has been solicited at long last, I wanted to share the final wrap around cover with folks. Just a few months left before it's release in November and things are very much taking shape. The lettered pages look fantastic thanks to the amazing Todd Klein and I really can't praise highly enough what Barbara Ciardo is doing with the coloring. Over the course of the next couple months I hope to be able to start sharing some pages here and there as well.

Words to live and die by.....

"Let this be plain to all: drawing constitutes the fountainhead and substace of painting and sculpture and architecture.... and is the root of all sciences. He who has attained possession of drawing possesses a great treasure."

-Michelangelo-

Quick Fix?

Would love to be able to do this for real.

Having one of those days....

DC announced my upcoming project, Batman: Noel, on their blog last week. Suffice it to say that I'm relieved I can finally talk about it here without having to use silly insinuations and not so clever wordplay. Check out the link above to read DC's press release including a very kind quote from my editor, the incredible Mark Chiarello.

The project will be released later this year, towards the holidays and is written and draw by yours truly with amazing color work by Barbara Ciardo. If you've seen the work she did over me in Wednesday Comics, this book takes things even further. Couldn't be happier with the colors...


While I still can't show anything substantial, I was given the go ahead to post a tiny little piece of a page for you guys to see. Hopefully it will give people a good idea of the look of the book. Better yet, head over to Barbara Ciardo's blog to see it in color!! Can't say much more, but rest assured you'll be hearing more about this in the coming months. Excited, excited..

Marvel 5

Last piece in the poster and my favorite. Wolverine. Drawing that character felt like a perfectly natural fit. Hell, wouldn't mind doing it again on the regular. Wolverine covers anybody?

Marvel 4

X-Men. Wish I could have done Ice-Man or Havoc but there were certain characters who wouldn't appear in the issue with the variant so it came down to choosing from a limited roster. Cyclops was fun. Not much else to say.
